four-horse mill in the shape of a Greek cross Explanation: four-horse mill reminding of a Greek cross itp. Trzeba jakoś opisowo oddać to, że te konie są rozstawione na czterech końcach, w równej odległości od środka/osi (a nie na przykład po dwa na przeciwległych końcach). W centralnym miejscu komory znajduje się krzyż konny – prototyp kieratu. Zasady działania urządzenia przedstawiają rysunki z XIX wieku oraz obraz Alfonsa Długosza. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopalnia_soli_Wieliczka A Greek cross (all arms of equal length)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days7 hrs (2013-04-25 23:30:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ciekawostka: wbrew temu, co podają słowniki, kierat (konny) to raczej "(horse) mill", a nie "(horse) treadmill" - widać to na obrazkach: horse mill http://tinyurl.com/d9yzkjv horse treadmill http://tinyurl.com/bpwd34n A treadmill is a device for walking or running while staying in the same place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadmill |
